Max number of sessions in WHS Dynamcs Ax 2012 R3

When we implemented a WHS module in Dynamics Ax 2012 R3, we experimented some issues but the most stressfull issue was the WHS web service crashed with five or six concurrent users.

I tought it was a configuration parameter about limit of conecctions, but i didnt know wich parameter, maybe an IIS parameter or AIF parámeter, was the second.

First of all, we have to select the follow menú: System Administration/ Setup / Services and Application Integration Framework/ EndPoints

In the endpoints form we are going to filter the whs* as the follow image show

We are going to desactivate the endpoint and then we clic the setup button and then, if we don’t have the right software tool to edit the file, the notepad Will open the file.

The netTCPBinding node has a maxConnections parameter but it was useless in this scenario.

But ServiceThrotting parameter had the solution, we had 200 in values of maxCurrentCalls, maxCurrentInstances, maxCurrentSessions

So, each users made several petitions to the service, even a user who refreshed the webpage repeatly

Just we increased the value of each parameter and we notice the website was supported more users tan before.

It really works for us!

Saving a Dynamics Ax Report to PDF

Hi guys!

I am gonna show you how to save a Dynamics Ax Report to PDF file.

We are going to use de getTempPath() method from WinApi class for getting the tmp directory.

static void saveProdId()
{
    ReportRun report;
    Args args;
    ProdBOM prodBOM;
    FilePath  path;
   ProdId  prodId;
    ;

    path = WinAPI::getTempPath();
    prodId= 'ProdIdNumber';

    select prodBOM where prodBOM.ProdId == prodId
            && prodBOM.ProdLineType == BomType::Vendor;


    args =  new Args();
    args.name(reportStr(SomeReport));
    args.record(prodBOM);
    report = ClassFactory.reportRunClass(args);
    report.printJobSettings().setTarget(PrintMedium::File);
    report.printJobSettings().preferredTarget(PrintMedium::File);
    report.printJobSettings().format(PrintFormat::PDF);
    report.printJobSettings().fileName(path + prodId  + '.pdf');
    report.query().interactive(false);
    report.run();


}

See you!

Using Infolog Ax 2012 R3

In this post you can learn how to use InfoLog class for sending a beautiful and professional messages in Dynamics Ax, however final user could not notice your effort.

static void testJCAinfo(Args _args)
{

    SetPrefix("Grandpa");
    SetPrefix("Dad");
    SetPrefix("Me");
    Infolog.add(Exception::Warning,"Puppy");
}

And the result is:

Now you have the power to agroup the info messages in Ax, but you can give more functionally if you want. check the code below

static void Test(Args _args)

{

      SysInfoAction_FormRun    infoAction =       SysInfoAction_FormRun::newFormName(formStr(EcoResProductDetailsExtended)); //Which form?

    

    infoAction.parmCallerBuffer(InventTable::find('TEST5')); // which record??

    

    Infolog.add(Exception::Warning,"El artículo no está propiamente configurado",'',infoAction);

}

First, we got the itemid with errors (TEST5)

In the message infolog we select the message

Notice a new button is appear automatically, and if you click on it, Ax shows you the EcoResProductDetailsExtended with the TEST5 Item.

Using RoundUp and RoundDown

Sometimes we would need to round a number, in this case you can use global method roundUp or rounDown.

static void roundExample()
{

    info(num2expstr(roundUp(6.5 ,1)));
  
}

The result is 7, 

This morning I was in trouble using this function... the result was 6 instead 7 such as if I would using roundDown,  some minutes later I notice I was tryng rounding a negative number LOL.
